    Roofers make a lot of noise.

    It’s a fact: Roofers make a lot of noise. I know this because there is a crew of 20-30 men are replacing the shingles of my condo. Not sure how many nails are being pounded in the roof but “my” quick estimate from the constant noise would be in the billions.  They’ve been at it all week from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and will continue into next week. Needless to say, I’m not spending much of my day time at home. In fact the parking lot has been rather empty all week. Yesterday afternoon I headed east to the prairie to enjoy the concert put on by my friends the meadowlarks. Love their music! I took my camera with me just because I always do. Never know what scene I may find.

    Will meet up with my oldest daughter, Christine, later this morning for brunch. Enjoy your weekend.

    Getting Warmer

    Early Morning At Campus Oval
    Early Morning At Campus Oval

    Our days are getting warm as we move into summer. The sun is rising earlier and setting later. It’s a good time of the summer for me. I enjoy sitting in my Adirondack chair on my porch both mornings and evenings to journal or read whole listening to the robins.

    Yesterday morning about 7:30 am I saw the above scene on my walk across campus. I loved it due to the lighting. It was all about the beginning of a new day. The back lighting of the sprinklers and the man’s shilouette were my attention getters. Enjoy your day!

    Follow Your Bliss

    Aaah Summer
    Aaah Summer

    “Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that

    Beauty in Nature

    Found on one of my walks
    Found on one of my walks

    I chose nature photography as a way of capturing
    and sharing the beauty, power, and fragility of wild places and
    the life that inhabits them,
    so that those who have become mired in the man-made chaos
    may open their eyes to the real world.

    After the Storm

    Passing Storm
    Passing Storm

    We had dark ominous clouds move through Fort Collins this past Wednesday afternoon. I drove to the east side of town near the Environmental Learning Center to watch the clouds, the lightening strikes and thunder. Yet, not one drop of rain as the storm headed south and east for the plains. They got plenty of rain. I love the show nature puts on. 

    Each day of life is a gift. However, today is a bit more more special as it is my parents 69th wedding anniversary. 🙂 I love you two!
